Poison In spoiled Flour.

Considerable interest has lately been
manifested in statement published by
NJ. Villon. French chemist well known
for scientific research. that he has discov-
cred an alkaloid poison of pronounced
characteristics in decayed animal tissies.
This poison is quite powerful, dose of
five centigrams being sufficient to kill a
dog. The interesting point in NJ. Villon's
researches is the fact that in his investi-
cations he applied tests to spoiled -four,
because Of the likeness of the gluten to
animal iibrin. and in that way discovered
the poisonous alkaloid. Spoiled and de-
cayed flour has peculiar appearance and
a foul, caustic, pungent. bitter flavor. Ii
tastes hot and singing, somewhat like
pepper, according to the stage of decom-
position. Dough made from il is also
bitter to the taste and offensive 10 smell,
and il crlmbles in hot water and affects
injuriously the stomach. Plaques have
been attributed 10 the use Of decayed
flour, the great plague of 1902 in Rome
being cited as an instance. Wheat flour
spoils very easily, especially in the
months between March and August,
when fermentation sets in that goes on
through the succeeding months until the
spelling is complete. Boston Budget.

A Team with Golden Horscshoes.

In the year 1855 a storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business
in what was known as the Woolshed,
Victoria. was elected first member Of par
lament for the Ovens district, and he had
the honor-unique in the history OF the
colony-of bcing driven in triumph from
the Woolshed into Beechworth in gig
with tandem team, the leading horse of
which was shod with gold.
Just before the election an eccentric in
diyidual. known as Tinker Brown. who
had made a lot of money on the diggins,
suddenly purchased a circus, with tents,
horses. and wagons complete, and, COM
ing into Beechworth with his company,
he offered to drive the newly elected
member. and supply golden horseshoes
for the occasion. The Woolshed bosses,
who were greatly eIated at the result Of
the election. warmly took up Browns S
idea. and they resolved, in addition, TO
present their member with diamond
scarf pin.
The horscshoes were made by work
ing jeweler named Tofeld. and weighed
nine ounces each. The team was driven
from Woolshed to Beechworth, and back
as far as La Serena hill. On removing
the shoes of the leader Ia piebald circus
horse) they were found to have lost a
total of | 3-4 ounces. Before Tinker
Brown died he willed them to married
daughter keeping public house at Wagga

about four years ago, when the owner

National Tunes I'm Frasce.

Gen. Boulanger has supplied the bands
Of the French army with a complete
collection Of the national music Of all
countries. When the emperor of Brazil
visited Paris some years ago considerable
difficulty was experienced in hunting up

The list, Of course, is long. II includes
the war song Of the Japanese, the lode

Poles, and the "March Of Rakocsy;;"
which has so often reused the enthu-

the President for that relief which, in

calling an extra session of Congress To
do what their last session so recklessly

extra session, to be effective, must be

SLOW Music
How to Rouse the Spirits,
The fact remains that music does act

the brain is not alone affected. For cx-

both in dancing and in marching, are
distinctly influenced by music, indie

the brain at first participates in the cN-
